Ploughman Batters Silver Lake for 5 Hits Monday, April 8th, 2024 5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game, and you get your moment of glory, your fifteen minutes of fame -- you get your name in the record book. In the Cats 8-7 win over Silver Lake, Dave Ploughman was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at LaGrave Field. "To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for a 5-hit game. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close." On his big day Ploughman delivered 5 hits in 5 at-bats. Dave Ploughman hit a two-run double in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th. |
